Bobby Valentino
You know how we do

I saw you walking down on Melrose
You looked like an angel straight out of heaven, girl
I was blown away by your sexiness
Now all I have to do is catch up to you
Slow down
I just wanna get to know you
But don't turn around
'Cause that pretty round thing looks good to me

Slow down
Never seen anything so lovely
Now turn around
And bless me with your beauty, cutie

A butterfly tattoo right above your navel
Your belly button's pierced too, just like I like it, girl
Come and take a walk with me, you'll be impressed by
The game that I kick to you, it's real, yeah

Like a flower fully bloomed in the summertime, you're ready
To be watered by this conversation, you're ready
I'm in awe 'cause you shine like the sun
Let me be the one to enjoy you
Let's kick it, girl

So slow down
I just wanna get to know you
But don't turn around
'Cause that pretty round thing looks good to me

Slow down
Never seen anything so lovely
Now turn around
And bless me with your beauty, cutie

Slow down
I just wanna get to know you
But don't turn around
'Cause that pretty round thing looks good to me

Slow down
Never seen anything so lovely
Now turn around
And bless me with your beauty, cutie

Oh baby, you know by now that I want you bad
I'm floating on thin air, I can't come down
Cupid hit me already, damn
Now I can't leave till seven digits are in my hand, my hand, yeah

Like a flower fully bloomed in the summertime, you're ready
To be watered by this conversation, you're ready
I'm in awe 'cause you shine like the sun
Let me be the one to enjoy you
Let's kick it, girl

Slow down
I just wanna get to know you
But don't turn around
'Cause that pretty round thing looks good to me

Slow down
Never seen anything so lovely
Now turn around
And bless me with your beauty, cutie

Slow down
I just wanna get to know you
But don't turn around
'Cause that pretty round thing looks good to me

Slow down
Never seen anything so lovely
Now turn around
And bless me with your beauty, baby

You, I don't wanna
Oh, looks good
Oh, looks good




Never seen anything so lovely, oh
Yeah yeah

Ō K A M I shieeet Social media would have been alright too better to keep in touch with family and friends but.....sadly it turned into negativity. We don’t use social media for what it was made for. They turned it all around and made it what it is today. 😢😒
